Good honest review. As an older rider with a few serious injuries in my past I reckon this bike is marked for blokes like me and young people just getting into riding. I love the videos you do, especially the collaborations with Lance. Keep up the good work 👍
Great review mate, the hitting neutral issue I find is just a fresh gearbox and it’s very agricultural. You need to force it up to go from 1st to 2nd. But you said a very important phrase at the start. Your hard earned cash. It’s too easy now to get a bank loan for a 20k bike then save up for a lower priced bike for most.
200kg is insane for a 450, i wouldn't recommend a 200kg bike for a beginner. i think it would be best suited as a commuter bike that can take a back road home.
@@6226superhurricane I think for someone dipping into adventure it’s a good entry level bike. As long as they are realistic with the type of trails they do. It would be a great commuter bike though!
HONEST review? Hahahahahaha. Crap. IF someone had "loaned" me a bike for a few months, I would have said whatever I thought they would want me to say! How else would I be sure to get another loaner in the future? Had you actually purchased this bike, your review would carry a LOT more weight.
He's ridden it multiple times on multiple videos.. what else do you want to see? Just because you think you've made a good purchase, and this guys opinion doesn't align with yours?. It's a cheap bike.. much like the DRZ.. Doesn't mean they got the recipe right though. Don't get butt hurt. Just enjoy yours.
Grub! Good evaluation from an established rider. May reflect some other already reported issues but a good review that helps prospective consumers make choices. Crawl back under your rock.

@@garygreenwald8257 thanks for watching mate! I agree with you. Hopefully I can get another adventure with Lance soon enough!
I own one and love it. Perfect for what I need it for.
@@toddclarke2348 that’s awesome to hear! Ride safe 🤙🏼

@@budget-adventure thanks mate 🤙🏼
Which do you rate higher in comparison, the DRZ/Himi/MT450?
@@leonyoung6380 I’d choose my DRZ all day as I enjoy majority off-road riding. Can’t comment on the MT as I haven’t ridden one.
I'm impressed you took this bike where you did with factory tyres. I wouldn't have done it.
@@steveshortt90 thanks! It was a bit of a mission sometimes.

Bear in mind RE designed this as a travel bike, not an enduro off road monster.
guys
i think riding it on stock tires as review is nonsense xD
Why RE is doing it :O
RE has designed it as a travel bike. The tyres reflect this.

you get what you pay for buddy--- these will last about 4 years then in landfill
@@thelonewolf666 hopefully I remember to check back to this comment in 4 years and see where they are at. 🤣
There are many 411’s still doing miles.
shite review, nothing original
